How to Heal a Broken Wing by Bob Graham

When a city bird hits a high-rise window and falls to the pavement only Will notices, and wants to help.

A sweet little story, told with few words and simple illustrations, but it touched my heart in a big way.

April and Esme Tooth Fairies by Bob Graham

Why does my child love to hear the books I hate the most? I have read this inane book every night this week and I want it to disappear. Fairies should not have cell phones. The writing is unimaginative. booooo.
